It’s a good point. I recently reflected on my experience with Fuji lenses (link in signature). TL;DR - You can get great images with any of the Fuji lenses I’ve owned, from the cheapest 15-45 to the most expensive 18 1.4. They do offer different experiences and produce different image quality. And I do find it’s more fun and versatile to use the ‘better’ lenses, so they are the ones I’ve held on to. YMMV.

Excellent write up, and quite a journey! Partly a result of being spoilt for choice…?

Thanks, yes think it was just a bit of a distraction and fun going through and trying the lenses at first but then Fuji kept bringing out new ones so just ended up with too many choices. That is their strategy for creating income!

Anyway, glad it was of some use to you. I mostly wrote it up for my own records, so that I don’t end up re-buying lenses I’ve had before 😉
